Woman arrested, accused of threatening to slap Yorktown principal

YORKTOWN - A woman was arrested for assault by threat after telling an elementary school principal she was going to slap her.

Alejandra Zaiontz, 41, of Cuero, was arrested by Yorktown Police about 9 a.m. Tuesday after admitting to Police Chief Paul Campos that she made the threat.

"The elementary school principal, Sylvia Hernandez, called and said she had been threatened by a parent," Campos said. "The woman said she was going to slap the (expletive deleted) out of Hernandez. You know, assault her."

Campos said that when he arrived at the school, the woman with a child was there.

"I asked what was going on and before I could say anything else, the boy said, 'Don't arrest my mamma. I'll kick your butt.'"

Campos said the mother admonished the child. Campos said he told the woman that the child had heard the woman use similar language earlier.
